The sales agents at Mallorcaresidencia share their Christmas traditions. Some celebrate a Swedish Christmas in Mallorca, others celebrate in a traditional Christmas in Sweden and some of them mix the best with the best from both the Spanish and Swedish traditions. One thing is for sure, our sales agents love Christmas!

 

Josephine Cederqvist

Josephine, who has been part of the team since the summer of 2016, loves Christmas. In fact, it is her favourite holiday, her birthday is just around Christmas as well. She grew up with six siblings and has four children herself, therefore family and Christmas are very important for her, being together is the highest priority. Her celebration is usually traditional and is like taken from a classic Christmas movie. The holidays is celebrated in the countryside in Sweden and the whole family participates in the Christmas service in the church.

She will not go to Sweden this year, therefore Christmas 2020 will feel a little sad and heavy as it won’t be a celebration together with the Swedish family, parents, all siblings and nieces and nephews. But Josephine will do her utmost to create the Christmas spirit when she celebrates her first Christmas in Mallorca in the house outside Deia. A real Christmas tree is a must with real candles. Hyacinths are another must, lots of hyacinths everywhere so that the house is filled with the scent of Christmas and mulled wine of course and the typical Swedish Christmas star in the windows of course. Being with the family, time for togetherness and gratitude is what Christmas is all about! “To sum up Christmas in one word, it’s community. To be with the children and have children around me” Josephine concludes.

 

Jan Hedengård

Jan is one of our most experienced brokers and has belonged to the Mallorcaresidencia family since January 2013. He is born in Malmö, Sweden but left in 1987, and has lived in Germany, Italy and Turkey, and came to Mallorca in 1999. All these experiences and countries have coloured of on his Christmas traditions and celebrations. As a child, he spent his Christmases with his family, with his uncle, aunt, cousins, either at home or at a ski resort.

For the past 15 years, he has mostly celebrated in Sweden with his son, partner and immediate family. Because of Covid-19, the family will stay in Palma and probably “just” be the three of them, “we will of course try to meet some friends (preferably outdoors), do various sports activities and enjoy the outdoors.” says Jan. There is nothing materialistic that Jan couldn’t be without at Christmas when the most important thing for him, the very essence and meaning of Christmas is to be with his loved ones.

 

Patrik Flyving

During his 16 years in Mallorca, Patrik has spent a maximum of 2 Christmases in Sweden. During Christmas he is mostly in Madrid as his partner is from there. Christmas spent with a large Spanish family can be upwards of 20 people. Patrik integrates his background and gives a Swedish touch to the celebration, by bringing Swedish products such as herring, crispbread and cooks them traditional dishes such as Christmas ham and “making your own Swedish meatballs, that’s a must” he says! All this is served during dinner on the 24th and again for lunch on the 25th. In a Spanish celebration, lunch turns into dinner, “you do nothing but eat”, says Patrik, “but I cannot do that, that’s when I usually take my 2-hour long walk”, he explains.

This year, the family will try to go to Madrid but everything is uncurtain and it all depends on whether the situation allows it and what the restrictions will be. If it is Madrid, it will unfortunately not be with the big family but only with those closest to them. For Patrik, Christmas is about the family, “the difficult thing now is that I have my family in Sweden and the other family is here and I cannot be with both at the same time” Patrik concludes.

 

Charlotte Magnusson

Veteran Charlotte has worked at Mallorca resedencia for almost 10 years. She moved to Mallorca 16 years ago, today she have Mallorquin partner from Soller and together they have two small children. Like Josephine, Charlotte loves Christmas “the best thing about Christmas is to experience its magic through the eyes of my children,” she says. The family tradition is to alternate the celebration one year in Sweden and one year in Mallorca. When they are in Sweden, they celebrate a typical traditional Christmas on December 24th, with a Swedish Christmas smorgasbord, TV programs and Santa Claus. This year, it is Sweden’s turn again if all goes well.

A typical Mallorcan Christmas lasts for 3 days from the 24th to the 26th and Los Reyes as well of course! The large Mallorcan family of almost 30 family members gathers around the highlight, which is the dining table. As Patrik said, you start with dinner on the 24th and eat, laugh and socialize throughout the holiday. “Being with the family, regardless of Swedish or Mallorcan, is the most important thing for me.” She says and adds “one must not forget that Christmas is for the children, it is their holiday”.

 

Magnus Nystedt

For Magnus, the new Christmas tradition has become to stay and celebrate in Mallorca. This year will be no exception and the family will continue with their new Mallorcan Christmas tradition. Magnus’ family celebrates December 24th. The day starts with rice porridge for breakfast followed by the family’s Christmas must, a newborn tradition that has been implemented for the past seven years! Magnus, who is born in Finland and is a Swede-Finlandi, has created his own fusion of the ancient Finnish sauna bath that has been merged with one thing that Mallorca is best known for, the turquoise water. The typically traditional Finnish Christmas sauna has been replaced by a Christmas bath in the Mediterranean. The family packs a picnic of Christmas goodies such as mulled wine and gingerbread and goes to (Cala Comtesa), Illetas for a swim. “Last year it was 15/16 degrees in the water, refreshing,” says Magnus. This tradition has generated several participations for each year; “We are more and more friends who meet up there. And it will be extra wonderful this year as pretty much everyone will be far from home, many of us will not go home and will not have the family over Christmas” adds Magnus.

In addition, it is a good spot and over an activity you meet your friends, you are outdoors in the fresh air and you can keep your distance from each other. After the bath, there is a late Christmas lunch where Swedish and Finnish traditional Christmas dishes are mixed with Spanish delicacies. When I ask Magnus what the must have on the Christmas table, what absolutely cant be missed, he quickly answers “carrot & turnip box it is a classic Finnish dish that is mandatory on the Christmas table. Otherwise, the Finnish Christmas table is very similar to the Swedish one. And of course my own home cooked pickled salmon.” Christmas gift distribution and Facetime talks to the family at home in Finland, followed by an evening of cosiness. The Christmas weekend continues in what Magnus thinks is most important to be with the family, the food to be free and just be and to grill in the sun of course!

The coast of Mallorca is rich with lighthouses due to its strategic location in the Mediterranean. It plays a transit point on many sea routes, as well as the geography of the island itself.  One of these jewels is the Porto Pi Lighthouse, one of the oldest operating lighthouses in the world. This historic monument is located on the waterfront opposite the busy Passeig Maritim in Palmas harbour.

 

The Porto Pi lighthouse is one of the first to be built in the Mediterranean dating back to the year 1300. It is the second oldest working lighthouse in Spain and the third oldest in the world. Its function was to make sure Palma was a safe haven, marking it and promoting it as a trade route. The lighthouse or rather the lower part of the torre was originally used as a signal tower, defending the harbour entrance, but also signalling the arrival of incoming boats at a time when horizontal masts were raised to indicate the arrival and origin of ships. In the 17th century the upper part of the lighthouse the Torre de Senyals, known as Faro de Porto Pi, was relocated to another close by safer spot. Its height was raised in 1613, since which it was used as a lighthouse. There have been several restorations carried out on the lighthouse since then, always preserving the harmony of the original medieval architecture. The tower is a square ground plan and the lamp is raised over two bodies of octagonal elevation. The height of the current tower is 41 metres above sea level and the reach of its light is twenty-two miles. In its interior is a small museum with a permanent exhibit regarding the lighthouses of the island, lighting systems, and maritime signals.

Let’s dig deeper in to lighthouse statistics and history, shall we. There are 19,000 documented lighthouses worldwide, 187 of them are in Spain, 49 are in the Balearic Islands of which 23 are located in Mallorca. They are referred to as guardians of the coast with the purpose to guide sailors on dark nights. For centuries, the lighthouse has been helping to steer the course of ships that, by approaching land, ran the risk of running aground on the rocks or cliffs. The tall towers were crowned with a rotating bulb that gave off a beam light visible from many miles away. The sailors could see it and correct their course. This is why they are located on craggy coasts with cliffs and other locations that could be dangerous for vessels.

 

Quite a lot is known about the lighthouses in Mallorca, mostly because all of the Lighthouse Keepers kept log books. The first known record relating to a Lighthouse Keeper in Spain refers to Porto Pi when a gentleman by the name of Berenguer de Isern appears in the payment accounts for 1310 for igniting the lighthouse between September to April. During the 2nd century, Mallorca criminals used the lighthouses to attract ships to the coast, then looted them when they became shipwrecked.

Despite that modern-day navigation systems have reduced lighthouses nowadays they still haven’t caused them to lose their romantic feel nor their historical and cultural value. Lighthouses are still worth the visit, not only for their beauty and historical significance, but also for the landscape and sunsets that frame them.

If you like exploring cities by foot, Palma offers so much besides beautiful buildings. Palma may not be Berlin but more and more “street art” is appearing in the city. Mallorca has always been an inspiring place for artists because of the special light of the Mediterranean. In addition to museums such as Es Baluard and events such as Nit del Art, art is available to everyone on the streets. Unlike graffiti, street art is highly sought after and appreciated.

Carolina Adán Caro is one of the many artists who enrich the city with her fresh art. Several of her works can be found on the streets around Santa Catalina and Son Espanyolet. Jakuna Melata is another artist that leaves colorful poetry and messages in Catalan around the city in the form of jars of color.

 

   

 

Abraham Calero created a controversial art installation in El Molinar this spring that gave people some food for thought about immigration and its victims in the Mediterranean. In addition to this, several of his works are on the walls in central Palma.

      

 

Mallorcan artist Joan Aguiló often reflects childhood memories from his summers in Mallorca. He is the artist behind the almost 100 m2 large wall in the Mercat del l’Olivar, which pays homage to Mallorcan farmers and fishermen who make it possible to consume local produce. Other famous creations are for example the large mural at the train station in Palma of a child with a train, the large wall at the Hotel Whala in Arenal of a typical mallorquin afternoon snack in the summer.

       

 

In the area of Mallorcaresidencia, Santa Catalina, we find Andrea Moretto’s fantastic mural of a detailed Santa Catalina map. Cafe Lisboa’s iron curtain has been transformed into a colorful tram from Lisbon by Llum Miranda Oliver. On Calle de la Pursiana we find hidden in a staircase Carolina Adán Caro’s painting of children who admire the expression “Art is Life”. And much more is to be discovered.

After riding on winding roads through the mountains from Palma, you reach the beautiful mountain village of Deiá after 35 minutes. The village is located on a hillside and is a place that breathes peace and artists has always been drawn here. One of them was the English author Robert Graves, who is now buried in the small cemetery on a hill.

 

The quiet village changes face in the evening when Café Sa Fonda opens with live concerts under the fig tree. This iconic place has been visited by Jimi Hendrix, Sting and Liam Gallagher among many others. If you are looking for a moment of peace and quiet we recommend a visit at the beautiful Belmond La Residencia where they serve afternoon tea with scones and other homemade pastries . If you are looking for a gastronomic experience, we find the restaurant Es Raco dés Teix with a Michelin star and the excellent restaurant Sebastian.

 

During the summer months it is difficult to park in the village but during autumn and spring it is fantastic to come here and enjoy the many hiking trails in the area that can take you to the monastery of Miramar, Sa Foradada (where you can enjoy an incredible sunset) and many other hiking trails.

 

An easy hike with a fantastic reward in the form of a swim in the crystal clear Mediterranean, offers the trail that goes down to Cala Deia. The walk down to the cala offers beautiful views of the sea from the mountainside. Don’t forget to bring your snorkel! Once you reach the beach you find the restaurant Cas Patro March with incredible sea views that serves fresh fish and tapas.

 

After a nice dip in the blue and a wonderful lunch, you can walk through olive groves up to the village. If you feel like having a cup of coffee or a freshly squeezed orange juice along the way, the organic café S´Hortet is on the way back. A beautiful day in beautiful surroundings!

In Mallorca there is a long tradition in producing ceramics. There are two villages on the island, Portol and Marratxi, which stand out in particular in this craft. Portol is the core of most of the island’s ceramic workshops where unique ceramic pieces are still made by hand. The clay comes from the quarries in the municipality of Marratxi, which proudly proclaims themselves “the land of clay”. The tradition has existed since the 17th century and there are currently 9 ceramic manufacturers in Portol and 2 in the neighboring village of Sa Cabaneta. In Sa Cabaneta, the El Museo del Fang (clay museum) is located in an old restored windmill and there is also a municipal ceramics school.

 

If you are interested in the craft itself, you can follow the so-called Ruta del Fang (Clay Route) which takes you from the museum in Sa Cabaneta via 15 ceramics workshops and other points of interest to end up in Portol. In addition to the usual ceramic products such as bowls and plates, you can also buy siurells, the traditional Mallorcan whistle in the form of a man riding a horse. These figures are usually painted in white with red and green stripes, a typical souvenir from Mallorca.

Santa Ponsa, or Santa Ponça as the Mallorcans say, is located in the southwestern part of Mallorca. According to those who live here, the town has the best weather on the island. Although the town is best known as a resort for a traditional beach vacation, Santa Ponsa offers more than that. In addition to the family hotels, the large centrally located beach, bars and restaurants for tourists, there is much more to discover.

 

On the cliffs, with a fantastic view over the sea, are some of the best luxury properties on the island. Nova Santa Ponsa offers a total of 3 golf courses, Santa Ponsa I, II and III.

Ice cream is one of the essentials of a warm summer. In our blog we guide you to find the best ice cream places in Palma:

Ca’n Miquel

Mallorcan Miquel Solivellas who had his professional training as a pastry chef, made the definitive leap to artisan ice cream and in 1979, he founded the Ca’n Miguel Ice Cream Shop. At Ca’n Miquel quality, innovation and variety have always been the basis for a quality product with carefully selected ingredients. All their recipes are made with natural products, without preservatives or dyes and are the result of a traditional process.

 

Elá Elá

Elá Elá produces and sells a natural ice cream without additives made from local products. With both classic flavors and exotic flavor bombs such as a mixture of ricotta, goat cheese, honey and Mallorcan figs, your taste buds will have a real treat. Elá Elá is located at Plaza Verge del Miracle 6 in Santa Catalina and at Plaza d’en Coll 3 in Casco Antiguo.

 

Gelats Paco

Francisco Aznar Cortés who founded Gelats Paco, arrived from Valencia during the thirties and began working as an ice cream maker. First he sold his ice creams in mobile carts and then he converted part of his factory into a store. Gelats Paco has a wide variety of tastes with the forty-nine types of ice cream. It offers the flavor and texture of the season, it cannot do it all season if the raw material (oranges, almonds, etc.) does not meet quality requirements.

 

Rivareno

The idea of Rivareno was born 2004 in Bologna by four friends (a manager in the car industry, a BBC journalist, a famous gelato maker from Bologna and a lawyer). Since its foundation in 2004, RivaReno aimed to give an authentic sensorial experience and produces daily made fresh gelato without compromising the quality. Rivareno has 2 shops in the La Lonja zone in Palma.

 

Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo

At the beginning of the 19th century, ‘Joan de s’Aigo’ was a businessman who invested in recruiting men to collect snow and store it in snow stores known as “cases de neu” in the Tramuntana mountain range. He came up with the idea of mixing the water which had melted from the “pans de neu” with fruit juices. This was the precursor of today’s ice cream. The first ice cream produced by Can Joan de s’Aigo  was almond ice cream. Can Joan de s’Aigo has 3 shops in Palma.

Specialty coffee shops is heaven for coffee lovers! Here you can read about the specialty coffee shops in Palma where you can enjoy some of the best coffee on the island.

There is an expectation in the air that the prices of properties will go down. Is that valid for properties in Mallorca? If so, how much can we expect to drop and which properties?

Almost all real estate experts forecast a drop in property prices for homes in Spain as a result of the coronavirus crisis, but there are certain areas where the decrease is expected to be greater than the average. I expect an immediate price drop of 5 to 10 percent in property prices. The mid to long term drop will be around 20% but probably not be as pronounced as after the 2008 financial crisis since prices at the start of 2020 where not as overinflated as in the previous crisis. In addition, the forecast is not the same for all properties, some might even go up in value. A first floor flat in a high rise with no views will go down in price whereas a penthouse with a terrace and a sea view in a prime location might even go up in price. According to several other financial entities, new builds are not expected to feel the crunch as much as second-hand properties.

 

Why shall a foreign buyer consider Mallorca for investing? Any specific reasons? How did Mallorca manage the whole Covid crisis? Is Mallorca a safe destination in the future as it was before?

As seen in previous economic crises, Mallorca has a great capacity to recover, reactivate and reinvent itself. Its privileged lifestyle and environment are hard to beat. Mallorca’s real estate market will remain active due to a number of different reasons. The volatility of the stock market will lead many investors to invest in real estate, especially smaller properties in prime locations that are easy to rent out. Foreign buyers might see in a second home a safe investment and an excellent opportunity to spend their holidays in a safer environment. Mallorca´s proximity and connections with Europe might also come as a competitive advantage when compared to other beautiful but far away destinations. People will want to have their second home in a destination that is both secure and easy to reach.

 

What future trends, concepts do you see will be successful in the real estate market in Mallorca? What kind of properties? Locations?

The confinement we have gone through will lead local buyers to search for a new type of property that is more adapted to one’s lifestyle and with more outdoor space. Some foreigners will now opt for purchasing a second home rather than staying at luxury hotels since they might see in a property not only a secure investment but also an excellent opportunity to spend their holidays in a safer environment. Country homes, singles family homes with gardens and penthouses with large terraces will become even more attractive than before.

 

 

How do you work differently towards your clients. Will you or have you changed your services? What will be the expectations of the clients in the future?

Adversity also fosters innovation and in our company we have had to implement new technologies and procedures in order to carry on business under lockdown. For example, we have incorporated live video viewings of homes. These new technologies and procedures are now here to stay and they have improved our standard services in a very positive way. We have also taken this opportunity to reconnect with our old clients. We have also focused on listening better and responding better to the requirements of our new clients. As a result, I think we will come out from this crisis more agile, more efficient, and all around a better, stronger team.

 

How do you think the real estate scene will change in the near future? There was a good upside development the last 3-4 years. Will that continue? Or will some agencies and actors close down? Consolidation? 

Thanks to the reactivation, new listings have come on the market this last month. Purchase enquiries have increased at a steady rate over the last weeks. In general, we expect this positive trend to continue as social distancing measures are slowly loosened and plans have been made for reopening the flights with Europe. Spring is traditionally peak buying time, but due to the inactivity over the past few months, experts expect to see an uptick in buying over the summer and the fall. With respect to the number of real estate agencies, in the last crisis of 2008 a lot of actors were wiped out. I believe that just like last time, a lot of the smaller agencies that were just a sales person with a telephone and a secretary, which were already struggling to get to the end of the month, will close. Real estate agencies that can´t diversify their product or market and adapt to new technologies will also suffer. However, real estate agencies like ours with a solid background and a diversified portfolio will continue on the right path.

 

Which areas, type of properties would you recommend to your future clients in Mallorca?

I recommend the following types of properties: penthouses with terraces in Palma or very close to Palma, small well priced 1-2 bedroom properties that can easily be rented out, townhouses and single family homes within a 15 minute drive of Palma and country properties close to lively villages.

In addition to the obvious environmental aspect of shopping locally (avoiding transport and packaging), you also benefit the local economy. And now more than ever with the ongoing pandemic COVID 19, the importance of shopping locally has become increasingly evident. Mallorca offers a large selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables but also other locally produced high quality products, such as wine, cheese and olive oil. If you have the opportunity, we recommend you to visit one of the local markets on Mallorca.

Mercado Ecológico de Palma takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 8 am and 2 pm at the Obispo Berenguer de Palou (Plaza de Los Patines) in Palma. Organic, local and seasonal products are sold directly from the cultivators without intermediaries. Santa Maria del Camí has market day on Sundays. The selection is wide and there is a section of the market that offers organic products. The market in Sineu (Wednesdays) is one of the perhaps most well-known with a large selection of local products such as ceramics and decoration in addition to fruits and vegetables.

In Palma, you can shop locally in the markets that can be found in Plaza del Olivar, Santa Catalina, and Pere Garau.

It is also possible to buy the local products online. In Mallorca, many agricultural cooperatives have joined forces and started selling online with home delivery during the pandemic.

https://mallorcaencasa.com

This web collects more than 60 different shops and not only do they sells local fruits and vegetables, but you can also buy everything from locally produced beer to ice cream and sobrasada.

https://sabordemallorca.com/venta-online-productos-de-mallorca/

Sabor de Mallorca sells typical products from Mallorca’s various villages. Here you will find, among other things, quelitas, olives, sobrasada, ensaimadas, wines and beer.

Vadebio offers organic products online where you can also order boxes with mixed products in three different sizes.
